Hi this is Dewey! Today, after breakfast we had a meeting on our itinerary for the next week. We also had a slideshow from Bruce and Amy about their job as photographers and different techniques they can give us to become better at photography! After that, we jumped onto our tour bus and headed to the Mamacona Country House, which has Peruvian horses.

Once we got there (after a 40 minute bus ride) we walked down a dirt rode and entered the gates to the horse ranch. Instantly a Peruvian folk band started playing for us and we spotted the most BEAUTIFUL horses ever. The host (owner of the ranch) directed us to a fancy backyard with a row of seats and seated us to watch a horse show and Peruvian dances!! The show was wonderful, we got to see some men direct the horses in a neat show with the horses practically jumping in the air!! As the horses and their riders showed off their moves some Peruvian dancers showed us some very difficult looking dances, they also wore very pretty dresses and outfits!

The 2009 Hands-On Explorer Team leaves for Peru in a couple of days. We've gotten our vaccinations and itineraries (and passports, too!). We're busy packing, and getting to know each other by e-mail. Soon we'll say hello to our fellow explorers in person!

Each member of the team received a cool book about the Inca and a journal. Here's a picture.

























We're also practicing with our new cameras. On Friday we'll board our planes, and then it's off to our incredible adventure in Peru. We'll be really busy exploring new places, including some spots that may not have Internet access, so we may not be able to post a blog entry every single day. But don't worry--there WILL be an entry for every day we're on the trip.

So watch this site, check back often, and live the adventure with us!
